GRG250P Black Night (w/ Edge III) (more images)

The GRG250P is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2009. It is a part of the entry-level GIO line.

It is one of the most affordable RG models with a double locking tremolo bridge. Other features include a basswood body, a bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and pickguard-mounted Ibanez pickups.

Two different versions were produced for different markets: a version with an ILT1 tremolo and a version with an Edge III tremolo.

In 2010 two new finishes were introduced: Beam Blue and Orange. The GRG250P was discontinued after 2011, in all markets except China and Southeast Asia.

A similar model with a maple fretboard, the GRG250M, was introduced in 2014. Another similar model with sharktooth inlays and an aluminum pickguard, the GRG255DX, was added for 2016.
